Abstract
The report deals with two separate topics, the effect of strip-mining on water quality of Little Mill Creek, Ohio, and infiltration of water on strip-mine spoil banks. Chemical water quality in Little Mill Creek was measured for 236 weeks. Two of four sampling points received effluent from a coal strip mine. Sulfate, manganese, calcium, magnesium, iron, aluminum, and hydrogen ion concentrations were determined Rainfall infiltration on graded spoil banks, measured with a sprinkling infiltrometer, averaged about 1.5 cm per hour. Differences in moisture content, slope, bulk density, and texture of the spoil did not explain most of the difference in infiltration between spoils.
